Since 2017, Rumi has been the star of the global hit series the Chosen.
The series takes a prestige TV approach to the story of Jesus, full of sharp dialogue, interpersonal drama, unexpected humor and high production values.
That slickly appealing modern style centered on Rumi's warm and relatable portrayal has helped the show to become a massive success.
It's been watched by more than 250 million people and will return for its fifth season under creator Dallas Jenkins next year.
That success has also helped turn Rumi, a devout Catholic, into a kind of public faith leader.
